Larian Studios

You don't have to munchkin. I didn't munchkin in my tactician playthrough. In fact I actively *stopped myself* from using things I considered too OP, like consumables. I chose race without any regards to what was good. I didn't bother with shields on my caster even though I could have had them, just because I didn't think it looked cool. I didn't wear an enchanted helmet on my mc for huge chunks of the game, when I could have, just because I liked the look of his mundane pointy hat more. And tactician was STILL way too easy.

You don't have to be a munchkin to make this game easy. Larian included a ton of ill-considered powercreep that absolutely trivializes combat. It is not the player's fault. It is not dungeons and dragons fault. It is explicitly the fault of Larian and what the decided to include.
